Kim Clijsters and Serena Williams have both gone down in history for their stunning careers, having both won multiple Grand Slam titles.
Williams knew she would achieve great Wimbledon success, with seven of her Grand Slam titles having come at the tournament.
American legend Williams also won seven Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open, along with six and three at the US Open and French Open respectively.
WTA icon Williams danced at the Super Bowl as she continues to enjoy life outside of tennis, having retired back in 2022.
Clijsters meanwhile clinched four Grand Slam titles before she decided to hang up her racket, also in 2022.

And the Belgian icon has now shared her verdict on the career of Williams, having been asked on The Sit-Down podcast for her memories on her era of women’s tennis.
“I think when you’re in the middle of it, you don’t really think about… I look at it differently the way that I do now, like I feel the same way, I feel so lucky that I’ve been able to compete against a fellow countrywoman like Justine [Henin],” she said.
“It’s so unique that we both come from such a small country, and then were able to be number one and win Slams and compete for titles.
“But then also when I look back now, my first US Open, I qualified, played against Serena in the second round, and that was her first US Open title, and then she ends up being the GOAT in our sport, right?
“When you think back about it now, it’s amazing, and the women that we’ve had growing up too, those were all women… Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, Lindsay, Davenport, she was so important for me also, she’s one of the women that I called before I started travelling with my family.
